I suspect that this problem might be solved by experience.  i.e. most
of the time you would see:

  $ bzr ignore *.tmp *~
  Ignore pattern added: *.tmp
  Ignore pattern added: *~

So I suspect it would stand out when you saw something like this:

  $ bzr ignore *.tmp *~
  Ignore pattern added: a.tmp
  Ignore pattern added: README~
  Ignore pattern added: NEWS~

which didn't match what you just typed.

Of course it's hard to know for sure either way.
